Hello Hvant, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to
Second Report on the State of the World's Animal Genetic Resources has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Ninja Diannaa ( Talk) 13:30, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rare breed (agriculture), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Production system. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 11:53, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm

Hi! Thanks for creating Transboundary breed (I've moved it to that title as it is not a proper name, so doesn't need a capital "B" for breed). I see that you've tried to add some links to it. Unfortunately, you've tried to add them inside existing weblinks. That just won't work – it doesn't wikilink to the internal page, and it messes up the display of the weblink. So I'm afraid I've undone those edits. Please don't let that discourage you from making more contributions. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 16:04, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello Justlettersandnumbers ( talk thank you for your concern. I will work on re-wording some of these "copyrighted" sentences. It was definitely not my intention to do anything of the sort. Perhaps the content in some cases is just too specific to be changed to a great extent. I will work on this issue asap. Please reconsider flagging this page as copyrighted material. Otherwise, I am happy to ask the FAO copyright department to write an email expressing their permission for publishing this page. Hvant ( talk) 10:49, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Hvant. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. --Animalparty! ( talk) 01:55, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
hello, thank you for your message. I will definitely post my work affiliation with the FAO of the UN, as soon as I figure out how to do it! Please stop deletiing my pages that I have worked very hard on! :( Hvant ( talk) 22:33, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The Funding Strategy for the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.fao.org/ag/againfo/programmes/en/genetics/first_call.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Since I'm here (on your page) and you are there (at the FAO), a wild thought crossed my mind: would you like to find out if there is any vestige of a chance that photos such as this could be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? They'd have to be under a licence such as CC-BY-SA 4.0 that allows commercial use, so quite different from the way they are currently licenced. I don't imagine there's any possibility this could be done, but it would make a huge difference to this project if it could (it's extremely difficult to find free photos of rare breeds, and many of our articles are without illustration for that reason). It would (1) reflect well on the FAO (2) be extremely helpful and (3) help to spread knowledge of, and interest in, rare livestock breeds. It'd be a lot of work, too. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 00:06, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi talk I like this wild thought. I actually looked into this option while I was there, and unfortunately, FAO's copyright policy is very stringent, and they did not seem very willing to change their entire copyright policy just for wikipedia. Their email is copyright@fao.org I believe. I will mention your idea to my supervisor though, as it is nice to hear that wikipedia is interested in collaborating. I agree it would reflect well on FAO and your other 2 points of course. Hvant ( talk) 18:56, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
